Located at the west of the map, the Horse Guards Parade is a public access area directly north of Downing Street. The area's layout is very similar to that of the real-life version, however it has been simplified and some features are absent. The main area consists of a large, open area used for parades (although not seen in-game) with various metal statues surrounding it. It also has a construction area to the north in a corner, where a Paste-Up can be found, and a Drone Platform can be found on the right side of the main building. Another area behind the main building can also be found, with a more social aspect with benches, a shop, and café area. A Parcel Fox activity can be seen by this area's entrance, as well as a text file behind the shop. Many Union Jack flags can be seen flying here. The roof of the building is also accessible, however only by using a contruction drone.
Found on the balcony behind the horse statue, south-west corner of the building overlooking the plaza.

GBB Article: Sir James
RETIRED MILITARY COMMANDER KILLED IN RIDING ACCIDENT
By Ludmila Svetlova
Sir. James Blythesby was killed today in a freak accident involving an Albion drone test.
Blythesby, his friends say, had become quite obsessed with raising public morale, and had fixated on an elaborate display as his means. He was practicing his routine at the Horseguard Parade when an Albion CT drone spooked his mount and Blythesby was thrown from the animal. The official cause of death was severe trauma to the spine.
"We were conducting a routine test of a new CT drone feature," an Albion spokesperson said in a statement. "While Sir Blythesby's death is regrettable, he was not cleared to be in the area."
Sir Blythesby is remembered by his wife, Lydia, and their seven dogs.

FROM: Control TO: WES_QuarterM Subject: Orders: CT Software upgrade
Hey Nikasi,
Sorry about this. Cass personally ordered a full software upgrade on every CT Drone in the city. Apparently focus groups all said that the female voice would "raise their morale 2.3 points" or whatever. Honestly I think that's "kind of creepy," but I'm not going to die on that hill.
Take care. Orders attached.
OFFICIAL ORDERS
GROUP 6 (Westminster Quartermaster) is ordered to test new "Female Voice" software upgrade on all patrol CT Drones, following a full operational test at Horse Guards Parade. Airspace will be cleared during the test window.
Happy flying.

Relic Lead Soldier
Originally made as toys for children, these small lead figurines have largely become collector's items.
This one depicts a 19th century private with a rifle and Union flag. The scarlet tunic was worn widely, though not exclusively, by most regiments of the British Army, Royal Marines and some colonial units from the 17th to the 20th century. This uniform has been worn by British soldiers in conflict on every continent on the planet.
The factory that made this particular toy was destroyed in the Blitz.
